Description

The defoaming device of melten glass
Technical field
The present invention relates to be used for removing the defoaming device of the melten glass of bubble from the melten glass of continuous supply.
Background technology
In the past, in order to improve the quality of the glasswork obtain of being shaped, before the melten glass that the raw material fusing is formed with smelting furnace being formed, adopted the clarification operation that the bubble that produces in the melten glass is removed by building mortion.
About this clarification operation, known following method: in raw material, add sodium sulfate (Na in advance 2SO 4) wait as finings, will make raw materials melt and melten glass under specified temperature, store and keep certain hour, thereby make bubble growth in the melten glass, come-up and bubble removed.
In addition, known following vacuum deaerator method: melten glass is imported in the reduced atmosphere, bubble in the molten glass flow of continuous flow is grown up, make bubble floating contained in the melten glass, break and bubble is removed, from reduced atmosphere, discharge then.
In such vacuum deaerator method, forming molten glass flow, this molten glass flow is moved in reduced atmosphere, specifically is that this molten glass flow is moved in the vacuum deaerator groove of inside maintenance specified vacuum degree.In the vacuum deaerator groove when mobile, the interior contained bubble of melten glass is grown up in the short period of time, the buoyancy of the bubble that utilization has been grown up floats it in melten glass, on the surface of melten glass bubble is broken, and can remove bubble from molten glass surface efficiently by this.At this moment, in order to remove bubble effectively, in the vacuum deaerator groove, when mobile, must add the ascent rate of air pocket, make bubble floating in the melten glass to molten glass surface from molten glass surface.Not so, the melten glass that contains bubble goes out from the vacuum deaerator concentrated flow, causes end article to comprise bubble.
Therefore, think that by the pressure that reduces the reduced atmosphere of carrying out vacuum deaerator as far as possible bubble being grown up improves ascent rate, the effect of vacuum deaerator is improved.But, if reduce the pressure of the reduced atmosphere of carrying out vacuum deaerator, then melten glass inside produces a large amount of new bubbles, float to the bubble of molten glass surface and do not break, a large amount of floating and form alveolar layer, the part of this alveolar layer is discharged from melten glass and forms the melten glass that contains bubble sometimes.In addition, if alveolar layer increases, then be difficult to make the liquid level temperature decline of molten glass flow and bubble is broken, alveolar layer further develops.Consequently, be full of by uncracked bubble in the groove of reduced atmosphere.Therefore, the alveolar layer that is full of in the described groove contacts with the impurity at the top that is attached to groove, and this impurity is sneaked in the melten glass.Therefore, from carrying out the angle that vacuum deaerator is handled effectively, make the hypotensive method of reduced atmosphere unsatisfactory (with reference to patent documentation 1).
In addition, except the size of bubble, the ascent rate of the bubble of melten glass also is subjected to the influence of the viscosity of melten glass, so think by reducing the viscosity of melten glass, promptly improves the temperature of melten glass, can make bubble floating effectively.But, if make the temperature of melten glass too high, then the reaction of refractory bodies such as the material of melten glass and the stream that contacts with melten glass, for example refractory brick comes to life, not only make and produce new bubble in the melten glass, and the material part stripping of stream causes the quality of glass to descend to melten glass.In addition, if improve the temperature of melten glass, then the intensity of the material of stream self also descends, and not only can shorten the life-span of device, but also need be used to keep the extra equipment such as heating unit of higher melten glass temperature.Therefore, for suitably and the vacuum deaerator that carries out melten glass effectively handle, can not make hypotony, can not make the design temperature of melten glass too high (with reference to patent documentation 1).

(3) will be made as h from the height of the lower end of bottom surface to the first member 14 of deaeration groove (vacuum deaerator groove) 11 (11a, 11b, 11c) 1, be made as h from the height of the upper end of bottom surface to the second member 15 of deaeration groove (vacuum deaerator groove) 11 (11a, 11b, 11c) 2The time, satisfy relational expression h 1≤ h 2
The vacuum deaerator method is following method: melten glass is passed through in inside remains in the deaeration groove (vacuum deaerator groove) 11 (11a, 11b, 11c) of decompression state, thereby the bubble in this molten glass flow is grown up, make bubble floating to molten glass surface and break, thereby remove the bubble in this melten glass.But, according to the vacuum tightness in for example deaeration groove (vacuum deaerator groove) 11 (11a, 11b, 11c), the temperature in the deaeration groove (vacuum deaerator groove) 11 (11a, 11b, 11c), the difference of various conditions when being supplied to bubbles volume in the melten glass of deaeration groove (vacuum deaerator groove) 11 (11a, 11b, 11c), the vacuum deaerators such as flow velocity of melten glass in the deaeration groove (vacuum deaerator groove) 11 (11a, 11b, 11c), a part that is present in the bubble in the melten glass sometimes can't float to the surface of melten glass.Residual bubble like this can't be removed by vacuum deaerator.
The present inventor finds that so residual bubble mainly is present in the middle level of melten glass after conscientiously research has been carried out in the behavior of the bubble in the melten glass.Here, the middle level of melten glass is meant in deaeration groove (vacuum deaerator groove) 11 (11a, 11b, 11c) part beyond the skim-coat and bottom among the mobile melten glass G; The part of 0.95h top when described top layer is made as h for the liquid level with melten glass G, the part of 0.2h below when described bottom is made as h for the liquid level with melten glass G.In other words, the middle level of melten glass is meant the part of 0.2~0.95h when liquid level with melten glass G is made as h.
In the defoaming device of the present invention (vacuum degassing apparatus), by first member 14 that satisfies above-mentioned condition and second member 15 being set, thereby the middle level that contains the melten glass of residual bubble can be induced to the top layer of melten glass as the bubble floating unit.
If the middle level that contains the melten glass of residual bubble is induced to the top layer of melten glass, then residual bubble is present in the position near the surface of melten glass, and the pressure head of melten glass (head pressure) reduces, and therefore residual bubble is grown up easily, and the deaeration of residual bubble obtains promoting.Consequently the clarifying effect of melten glass improves.
In the defoaming device of the present invention (vacuum degassing apparatus) 10, first member 14 that satisfies above-mentioned condition and second member 15 must be set as the bubble floating unit.
Open in the vacuum degassing apparatus of the melten glass shown in the 2000-7344 communique as restraining mass 36a, 36b, 336a, 336b revealed with the similar structure of first member the Japanese Patent spy in appearance.In addition, revealed in the glass furnace of in Japanese patent laid-open 9-124323 communique, putting down in writing with the similar structure of second member in appearance as the cross-section sill 14 of upstream zone of delimiting this smelting furnace and downstream zone.
Yet the function of these structures is different with bubble floating of the present invention unit.The Japanese Patent spy opens in the vacuum degassing apparatus of the melten glass shown in the 2000-7344 communique, restraining mass 36a, 36b, 336a, 336b are used to tackle and had floated to the bubble of molten glass surface before arriving restraining mass 36a, 36b, 336a, 336b and they are broken, and the middle level that does not have to contain the melten glass of residual bubble fully is induced to the intention on the top layer (surface) of melten glass.On the other hand, in the glass furnace shown in the Japanese patent laid-open 9-124323 communique, cross-section sill 14 are used to delimit the upstream zone and the downstream zone of this smelting furnace 14, convection current recirculation to the melten glass that forms at this upstream zone, downstream zone respectively separates, and the middle level that does not have to contain the melten glass of residual bubble fully is induced to the intention on the top layer (surface) of melten glass.Promptly, in the glass furnace shown in the Japanese patent laid-open 9-124323 communique, the downstream zone that is positioned at the downstream of cross-section sill 14 is the clarifying area of melten glass, but it is to carry out the clarification of melten glass by making melten glass carry out convection current recirculation at this downstream zone, and melten glass defoaming device clarifying of the present invention (vacuum degassing apparatus) by carrying out this melten glass in remaining in the deaeration groove of decompression state (vacuum deaerator groove) is obviously different on for the clarifying thinking of melten glass with making.And, since exist cross-section sill 14, the melten glass of downstream zone be induced to the below, but not molten glass surface, promptly above.By above-mentioned aspect as can be known, it is different fully that the Japanese Patent spy opens the function that the cross-section sill 14 shown in restraining mass 36a, the 36b shown in the 2000-7344 communique, 336a, 336b and the Japanese patent laid-open 9-124323 communique are had, and their function is also different fully with bubble floating of the present invention unit.In addition, the Japanese Patent spy opens the middle level of not putting down in writing melten glass in 2000-7344 communique and the Japanese patent laid-open 9-124323 communique and has residual bubble, does not also put down in writing the content that need make this residual bubble floating, break and remove certainly.Therefore, though it is similar in appearance with first member of the present invention and second member respectively that the Japanese Patent spy opens the cross-section sill 14 shown in restraining mass 36a, the 36b shown in the 2000-7344 communique, 336a, 336b and the Japanese patent laid-open 9-124323 communique, making up restraining mass 36a, 36b, 336a, 336b and cross-section sill 14, to constitute the unitary technical scheme of bubble floating of the present invention be not obvious invention for those skilled in the art.
In the defoaming device of the present invention (vacuum degassing apparatus), by in deaeration groove (vacuum deaerator groove), first member and second member being disposed at suitable position, can producing flowing of rising on the middle level that makes the melten glass that contains residual bubble efficiently.In addition, as described later, by the gap that can pass through for melten glass is set between the inwall of deaeration groove (vacuum deaerator groove) and second member,, the residual bubble that has floated is trapped near the top layer and can descend perhaps in the gap that second member self setting can be passed through for melten glass.By their effect, deaeration efficient improves.
In the defoaming device of the present invention (vacuum degassing apparatus) 10, for the middle level of bringing into play the effect that the bubble floating unit is set and produces, being about to contain the melten glass of residual bubble is induced to the effect on the top layer (surface) of melten glass, must first member 14 be set at the whole width of the melten glass G stream of deaeration groove (vacuum deaerator groove) 11 (11a, 11b, 11c).
Height h from the lower end of bottom surface to the first member 14 of deaeration groove (vacuum deaerator groove) 11 (11a, 11b, 11c) 1Better be to satisfy h when the liquid level with melten glass G is made as h 1=0.2h~0.8h.For example, when the liquid level h of melten glass G is 300mm, h 1Better be 60~240mm.
If h 1In above-mentioned scope, then be induced to aspect the effect on top layer of melten glass preferably in the middle level of melten glass that performance will contain residual bubble, and flowing of the melten glass G in the deaeration groove (vacuum deaerator groove) 11 (11a, 11b, 11c) can not hindered because of first member 14 is set.
